L’Aquarium de Barcelona
This contemporary aquarium dedicated to Mediterranean species and habitats does its best to make you feel like you’re underwater interacting with the fish.The centerpiece of this contemporary aquarium is the Oceanarium, a giant tank that wraps around a transparent 80m (262-ft.) tunnel with a moving walkway on one side. On the other is a strip where you can step off and take photos or simply marvel at the creatures swimming just inches away. A series of smaller tanks recreates a variety of marine environments. Some resemble home aquariums with shoals of brightly colored fish, while eels and anglerfish lie in wait for their prey in deepwater habitats. You can observe Humboldt penguins gliding underwater, and the sharks remain the star attraction. The adventurous can get up close with a cage dive for 175€.
